Dr. Marcuse commitment is to making the lives of people with epilepsy and seizures better. For each patient she strives for freedom from seizures and from debilitating side effects from medication. To achieve this, all possibilities are explored including medication adjustment, complementary techniques, dietary changes including the ketogenic diet, and surgical techniques.
The Mount Sinai Epilepsy Center consists of a multidisciplinary team which includes neurologists, neurosurgeons, researchers, nurses, neuro-psychologists, technicians, nutritionists, and psychiatrists. As such, the center has been accredited as a level 4 center by National Associations of Epilepsy Centers. For people whose epilepsy is not fully controlled with medication, surgical techniques will be considered including the more minimally invasive techniques like stereotactic EEG and laser ablation to the more convention like surgical resection and intracranial studies with electrodes arrays of grids and strips. In addition, the center offersneurostimulation with responsive neurostimulation (RNS) or vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) for appropriate candidates.
Despite their being a myriad of treatments for epilepsy, the options still do not fully treat each person. As such, Dr. Marcuse with the other epileptologists and researchers seek to pioneer innovative treatments for epilepsy. We are partnering with scientists at the Friedman Brain Institute to further our understanding of the brain and of why some epilepsy is so difficult to control.
Dr. Marcuse is committed to working with each individual and family to maximize quality of life. Her commitment includes people of every age, every cognitive ability, every socioeconomic background, all sexual orientations and all cultural backgrounds. In addition she is interested in:Pregnancy and epilepsy

Refractory (medication resistant) epilepsy
Ketogenic diet.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr.Marcuse did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2015 and/or 2016: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website.
Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
Physicians who provide services at hospitals and facilities in the Mount Sinai Health System might not participate in the same health plans as those Mount Sinai hospitals and facilities (even if the physicians are employed or contracted by those hospitals or facilities).
Information regarding insurance participation and billing by this physician may be found on this page, and can also be obtained by contacting this provider directly. Because physicians insurance participation can change, the insurance information on this page may not always be up-to-date. Please contact this physician directly to obtain the most up-to-date insurance information.
Insurance and health plan networks that the various Mount Sinai Health System hospitals and facilities participate in can be found on the Mount Sinai Health System website.
